Unfortunately, the Cannonvale Cannons’ Club Night was cancelled on Wednesday last week due to stormy weather but were back in the pool this week.
Over the weekend, Indigo, Ruby, and Koa Harland travelled to Charters Towers to compete at the Charters Towers Swimming Carnival, with the girls very excited to catch up with their brothers Tate and Mason, and sister, Ella.
Indigo, “Indi” Harland aged six, swam very well in her 25-metre Backstroke and Freestyle races. Her best swim was her Backstroke in a time of 48.01 (a 1.21 second personal best).
Koa Harland, aged eight years had a very successful carnival. She swam three personal bests and came second place in her 50-metre Breaststroke in a time of 1.05.18. She swam a super 50-metre Butterfly in 1.11.98, a 1.83 second personal best and was fourth in her age group.
Ruby Harland, aged 10, swam in four events, coming first in her 100-metre Backstroke and second in her 100-metre Freestyle.
Mason and Tate Harland swim for Charters Towers Swimming Club, with Mason, aged 12, swam extremely well in all his Backstroke races. Tate, aged 14, swam a fantastic 200-metre Breaststroke in a time of 3.50.74 which was a 21.34 second personal best.
The Cannons would like to thank all the wonderful families who assisted with the Bunnings barbecue fundraiser on Saturday.
Swimmers continue to train for upcoming carnivals: Gardens (Townsville), Whitsunday (Proserpine), and Bowen. Some Cannons have also nominated for the Hamilton Island Ocean Swim.
